About Tim Lamborn
Hi, I’m Tim Lamborn, founder of Retreat Launch.
For more than 15 years, I’ve been involved in creating, launching, marketing and growing health and wellness retreat businesses.
Through OnTrack Retreats, NuYu Retreats and Chi of Life Retreats, I’ve developed retreat concepts, negotiated retreat venue agreements with world-class hospitality brands, built sales and CRM systems and helped generate more than £10 million in retreat sales.
I now use that real-world experience to help health, fitness and wellness professionals create commercially viable retreat businesses without the expensive mistakes, poor planning and guesswork that cause so many retreats to fail.
Our clients remain focused on programme quality, guest care and the health outcomes they are qualified to deliver. Retreat Launch takes care of the commercial work around them, including positioning, pricing, financial planning, venue strategy, lead generation, CRM, automated follow-up and sales conversion.

A retreat business designed to create impact and generate sustainable revenue
A powerful retreat programme is only one part of a successful business. It also needs commercially sound pricing, a clear market position, dependable venues, an organised customer journey and a sales system that consistently converts interest into bookings.
We bring those elements together so your retreat is not dependent on guesswork, irregular referrals or constant manual follow-up.
A clearly positioned retreat offer for a defined target market
A financial model with pricing, capacity and break-even planning
A structured programme and operational delivery plan
A complete lead generation, CRM and sales conversion system
A repeatable launch and growth plan for future retreat dates
Stay focused on the work you love
You should be free to lead, coach, educate and support your guests. We take responsibility for building the business structure around your expertise, so the commercial side supports your mission instead of consuming it.
